Roadmap to Learning Java
Step 1: Learn Java Basics - Study syntax, variables, and loops. - Write simple programs to understand data types and operators. Step 2: Object-Oriented Programming - Learn classes, objects, and inheritance. - Create small applications using OOP principles. Step 3: Advanced Topics - Dive into file handling, exception handling, and collections framework. Step 4: Build Projects - Develop console applications like a library management system. Step 5: Explore Frameworks - Learn Spring and Hibernate for building enterprise-level solutions. Step 6: Debug and Optimize - Use IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA for debugging. Step 7: Specialize - Focus on Android development or enterprise software.
Examples of Simple Programs
Hello World Program: ```java public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, World!"); } } ``` Basic Calculator: ```java public class Calculator { public static int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Addition: " + add(5, 3)); } } ``` Array Example: ```java public class ArrayExample { public static void main(String[] args) { int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; for (int number : numbers) { System.out.println(number); } } } ```
